Kajol unveils her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Singapore

Bollywood actress Kajol has unveiled her wax statue at Madame Tussauds Singapore, the newest addition to the museum’s International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards Experience.

"It is truly an honour to have my own wax figure here at Madame Tussauds Singapore. The entire experience from my sitting to the actual unveiling of the figure has been surreal, Kajol said.

She said in a statement, “When I heard I would get my own figure in Madame Tussauds I was really thrilled. Now, seeing the figure in real life, the details are incredible, it's like looking into a mirror."

According to the statement, the process took five months for Madame Tussauds' professional artists and sculptors to create a true-to-life representation of the Bollywood star.

The dress Kajol's figure is wearing is donated by Prabal Gurung, the stunning dark blue gown that put her on the best dressed list across Indian publications during a red carpet walk in 2017. 

General Manager of the Madame Tussauds Singapore Alex Ward said, "It is an honour to welcome Kajol personally to our attraction for the unveiling of her wax figure.”

“We received lots of requests for Kajol's figure and we look forward to offering her fans the chance to share the stage with her,” Alex said.

Kajol's figure joins other Bollywood actors, including Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit and Ranbir Kapoor at the museum's IIFA Awards Experience.
